When Jerry felt more comfortable in girl’s clothes and in putting on make-up like his sister did, he realised that he was a eunuch.
Eunuchs have been in our societies since early ages, and we learn from our history lessons that emperors and rich people used to keep eunuchs to guard their harems.
There are several types of eunuchs: some are those who were born as boys but without their sexual organs working in the normal way because of some physical defect — a disease, who look like men but act like women, some are made into eunuchs forcibly by removing their sexual organs and, in the present day scenario, some get their sexual organs removed willingly through expensive surgery either for fun or for some quick publicity which makes them a celebrity over-night!
